I'm not too sure how to project the future, but I don't think the Canadian public will take it lightly. I don't see how they can. It just doesn't make sense.
Most people don't know about it anyway. You can be rest assured, though, that if it isn't passed, we have ways and means as victims organizations. As I said, there are lots of victims services now across Canada, and I think they would be very, very upset to learn that this piece of legislation is really in favour of a person who has knowingly committed a crime—“knowingly” meaning whether they can pay a fine or not.
